WE ARE SELLING OUR 1969 EL CAMINO. I WILL DO MY BEST TO DESCRIBE THE CAR HONESTLY AND COMPLETELY. WHILE YOUR READING THIS AND CONJURING UP A MENTAL IMAGE, THINK "NICE DRIVER". ITS NOT A REAL SS. I JUST ADDED THE BADGES FOR LOOKS.
FIRST AND FOREMOST (IN MY MIND ANYWAY)....THIS IS A CAR YOU CAN DRIVE ANYWHERE. AS FAR AS I KNOW IT HAS NO MECHANICAL DEFECTS. WE DRIVE IT TO CRUISE INS 100 MILES ROUND TRIP ALL THE TIME. IT DOES NOT SMOKE OR RATTLE. IT TRACKS AND STOPS STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW.
BODY AND PAINT : A 7 OR 8 ITS STRAIGHT BUT IF YOU LOOK REAL LOW IN THE BACK BEHIND THE REAR WHEELS FOR INSTANCE YOU CAN SEE SOME SLIGHT BUBBLING. ITS NOT BAD AND HAVE TO LOOK FOR IT BUT ITS THERE. THE PAINT IS SMOOTH AS A NEW CAR PAINT. NOT MIRROR LIKE A SHOW CAR, BUT CERTAINLY NICE. NO BIG SCRATCHES ETC. SS 396 HOOD HAS BEEN ADDED ALONG WITH THE RED SS STRIPE. A NOTE ON THE CLOSEUP PICTURE OF THE WHEEL: THE REFLECTION OF ME THE TREES AND WHATEVER ELSE MAKES THE BODY ABOVE THE MOULDING LOOK DORKED UP. I ASSURE YOU ITS NOT.
UNDERCARRIAGE. NICE AND SOLID FRAME. LIKE YOUD EXPECT FOR A WELL MAINTANED VEHICLE OF ITS AGE. ITS NOT CONCOURS BUT ITS NOT A RUSTED CLUSTER EITHER.
GLASS: ALL GOOD. ORIGINAL EXCEPT THE WINDSHIELD. SOME SCRATCHES ON ONE OF THE WING WINDOWS. SLIGHT WIPER HAZE ON WINDSHIELD. NOT TOO BAD BUT ITS THERE.
THE MILEAGE ON IT IS I THINK 69000 OR SO, I CANT PROVE IT BUT IM THINKING IT MIGHT BE RIGHT. IM NOT SURE ITS GONE AROUND ONCE. ID SAY BETTER THAN 50 50 ITS ACTUAL. ALL THE IDIOT LIGHTS WORK GAS GAUGE. AFTERMARKET GUAGES UNDER DASH.
DRIVETRAIN: 350 350 OBVIOUSLY REBUILT. (NOT BY ME) RUNS AND SHIFTS AS NEW. CHOKE WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD ETC. HEADERS AND DECENT EXHAUST. I THINK ITS THE ORIGINAL MOTOR AND TRANS, BUT I AM NOT POSITIVE.
INTERIOR: STOCK APPEARING. NEWER CARPET AND DOOR PANELS ETC. SEAT I THINK IS ORIGINAL AND ITS NICE. HEADLINER REPLACED. ORIGINAL BELTS. AFTERMARKET CD STEREO WITH PIONEER SPEAKERS. DASH PAD ISNT CRACKED. ID SAY AN 8. OH YEA THE DOME LIGHT IS NOT WORKING. DASH ISNT BUTCHERED.
FACTORY FRONT DISC BRAKES WORK AS GOOD AS A WELL MAINTAINED CAR. ALL THE LIGHTS BRIGHTS BLINKERS HORN WORK AS IT HAS BEEN RECENTLY STATE INSPECTED. NOT AN EASY TASK TO PASS WITH AN OLDER CAR HERE.
THE BED IS NICE NICER THAN MOST IT HAS SOME WEAR BUT IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE IT HAD RIP RAP ROCK HAULED IN IT. THE COVER IS NEWER AND REALLY WELL FIT AND MADE.
THE BOTTOMS OF THE DOORS AND TAILGATE ARE SOLID. THE CHROME. ITS ORIGINAL;. ITS NOT BAD BUT ITS GOT SOME AGING. ITS NOT BAD AND THE CAR SHOWS REALLY WELL. HOWEVER NEW BUMPERS AND MAYBE DOORHANDLES WOULD REALLY ADD TO THE EYEBALL. ITS THE WORST PART OF THE OUTSIDE. AGAIN ITS NOT BAD . ALSO ALL THE BED TRIM IS ON IT. ITS NOT MISSING PARTS ETC. THE BUMPERS ARENT ALL DINGED UP JUST THE CHROME IS TIRED IS WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY.
RADIATOR IS A BIG BLOCK RADIATOR. ROCK SOLID 190 I DONT CARE HOW HOT OUT IT IS. BATTERY IS NEWER. ALL THE HOSES AND ALL THOSE TYPE ITEMS ARE GOOD.
TIRES AND WHEELS NEW COKER REPROS. RED LINE BIAS PLY. EXPENSIVE BUT IT MADE THE CAR REALLY POP AND ADDS THE CORRECT PEROID LOOK. EMBLEMS I ADDED ARE NEW.
WHY AM SELLING IT? A: TO MAKE A PROFIT IF IM NOT CAREFUL AND GO ON THE "HUNT" AGAIN .
I COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT HERES THE DEAL...ITS A GOOD CAR. WE GET ALOT OF COMPLIMENTS ON THE CAR. IT HAS REALLY GOOD STANCE AND EYEBALL. PLUS IT RUNS GOOD AND HAS BEEN DEPENDABLE. GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY. A PERFECT ENTRY LEVEL OLD CAR FOR MAYBE A YOUNGER GUY TO PLAY WITH AND LEARN. EASY TO WORK ON. PEOPLE PASS UP EXPENSIVE HOTRODS AT THE CRUISE AND STOP AT OUR CAR. ITS CRAZY BUT IT HAPPENS . AGAIN....ITS A DRIVER / LOCAL CAR SHOW VEHICLE. ITS NOT A TURD, ITS NOT A PEBBLE BEACH ENTRY. CHECK MY FEEDBACK. EVERY CAR IVE SOLD THE PEOPLE WERE HAPPY CAMPERS. THAT BEING SAID, IM NOT GUARANTEEING IT PAST MY DRIVEWAY. ID LET MY LOVED ONES DRIVE IT . IT HAS GOOD BONES. THATS WHY I BOUGHT IT.
I DO NOT WANT TO TRADE. PLEASE....I WILL HELP YOU ANY WAY I CAN ...BUT I CANT STAND TIRE KICKING BS. MAKE SURE THE WIFE KNOWS, YOU HAVE THE MONEY, ETC BEFORE YOU START IN ON IT. DONT BE "THAT GUY" ITS PRICED RIGHT. WERE NOT UNDER FINANCIAL STRESS (THANK THE LORD) SO PLEASE REFRAIN FROM GOING LOW BALL. I WONT EVEN RESPOND TO IT. I DONT MIND DRIVING IT AROUND FRANKLY.
IF YOU WANT TO SHIP IT THATS FINE . YOURE PAYING FOR IT. I WILL MAKE SURE IT GETS ON A TRUCK SAFELY. THE CAR OR ITS TITLE (WHICH IS IN OUR NAME) ARENT LEAVING HERE UNTIL ITS ALL PAYED FOR AND CLEARED. PERIOD.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
